I can identify which scripts I haven't used in months, which dotfiles belong to packages no longer installed, and which configurations are stale. The dotfile audit process is repeatable—not a manual archaeology expedition each time. The system remains as intentional and minimal as the day archsetup first installed it. No cruft accumulates.
